Generally in the US, you don’t get unemployment if you are fired for cause.

Cloudfare is trying to make it seems like it’s termination for cause instead of a layoff.

Which is silly, you have to declare layoffs in advance anyone fired during the let go period should automatically be be fired without cause. The perverse incentives to just dig up dirt on random employees to find cause and save on unemployment insurance is can't be some unknown thing.
